The invention provides an improved machine for generating soap foam that includes a single drive, such an electric motor or human-driven crank that simultaneously drives both a pump, such a peristaltic pump, and a blower. Soap solution is delivered in front of the blower in a waterfall-like manner by gravity so it can be urged through a fine mesh fabric screen to introduce air for the formation of soap foam. The motor speed, drive gearing for the pump, the fan turbine for the blower and soap solution nozzle configuration are selected to provide soap foam of the desired volume, density, and flow.

Soap foam generating machine

The present invention includes a plurality of soap bubble making ports in a housing where each of the ports includes a ring-shaped soap bubble outlet. A single tube, via the pump, pulls soap bubble solution from the reservoir and, through a manifold, delivers soap bubble solution to the output ports of the manifold and then to each of the plurality of soap bubble making ports. A plurality of mechanically linked wipers is respectively located at each soap bubble making port to form a film at the soap bubble making port. An air manifold splits air received from the air blower respectively to each soap bubble making port. When a motor-driven shaft rotates, soap bubble solution is delivered to all soap bubble ports; causes all wipers to rotate and causes air to be blown through all of the soap bubble ports to creates multiple soap bubbles at the same time.

The invention is directed to a soap foam blaster device with a switch (or trigger) actuated pump to create soap foam using an aerator that is directed into a telescoping breech for pressurization thereof. A grip member with a nozzle on the free end thereof is attached to an inner member and actuated rearwardly to collapse the breech thereby launching the soap foam a substantial distance for targeted direction of soap foam for improved gameplay. For another blast of foam soap, the telescoping breech is expanded again by moving the grip member forwardly to slide out the inner member within the outer member whereby another volume of soap foam can be loaded into the breech for a subsequent launch. Alternatively, soap foam solution may be manually pumped from the soap solution reservoir by a manual telescoping pump configuration to create foam and then manually launched therefrom through the outer nozzle.
